So, today I was at school and I was walking. Just walking in the lab, my usual stroll across the floor. In mid-step, my right knee started hurting. It reminded me of when I stretched some ligament on the inside of my knee, but in the joint area.
So what did I do when I got home? I still did Legs & Back and Ab Ripper X, of course! If being sick couldn't hold me back, either was the knee issue. I decided to take it very easy, modifying the modified moves by holding most of my weight off my right knee. After the exercises, and a little rest for dinner, standing up was painful.
This means I will NOT be exercising for DAY 12 (Thursday) or stretching on Day 13 (Friday). Which is just tormenting me. I feel like I am taking a million steps back now, when I have come so far. BUT, if I learned anything, it is not to exercise when you are hurting.
Well, here is what I did the other day!
1. Reverse Grip Chin-Ups: 20R+Blk, 20R+Blk
2. Wide Front Pull-Ups: 20R+Blk, 17R+Blk
3. Closed Grip Overhand Pull-Ups: 20R+Blk, 20R+Blk
4. Switch Grip Pull-Ups: 20R+Blk, 20R+Blk
That brings me to a total of 157 FAKE PULL-UPS!!!!!!
I can't wait to have no more knee pain so I can get back to these videos. I am going to pause my dates until I can actually do the videos. So, Day 12, you are forever away. Please come quickly.
i like your thought .. " it is not exercise when you are hurting" exactly right<3. you will get to day 12. no big deal! you have gone this far!:O) and that is a huge step. 12 days..in a row..of straight exercise..that deserves like...everything in the world to me.
